J. Burkhardt Beale's Lawyer Endorsements
"Burke is both a victory-driven lawyer and a true gentleman. I entrusted Burke around two years ago to handle a challenging procedural hearing for me when I had a date conflict, and he succeeded with flying colors. I trust Burke to discuss challenging issues in my pending cases, and delight in seeing him in the same courthouse. We will always benefit by having more lawyers like Burke."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is one of the leaders in DUI defense here in Virginia."
"Burk Beale is among the top DUI defense attorneys in America. He has accomplished some amazing, favorable dispositions for clients that I have referred to him over the past two decades. Well-connected and familiar with the unusual VA court system, whether jury trial or bench trial."
"Burke Beale is a leader in the defense of DUI charges. I know Burke personally, and, more importantly, know of the high regard he enjoys among judges and lawyers. He works hard for each client. I highly recomend him."
"Attorney Beale has the necessary reputation, knowledge and experience to make a meaningful difference to the motorist accused. He is ethical and most of all trustworthy. I trust him. I know you will too."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Burk is an excellent attorney. Avvo requires me to pick only one practice area to endorse, but in addition to DUI cases Burk is to be trusted in criminal defense and personal injury matters. He is a capable litigator with an encyclopedic knowledge of applicable law and procedure. Highly recommended."
"Burk is one of the best DWI DUI Lawyers in the United States not just Virginia. Burk is a founding member of the National College For DUI Defense. Burk was one of the first Lawyers in Virginia to take classes on the EC/IR II, Virginia's new evidentiary breath tester. Burk has committed himself to understanding the science behind the DWI DUI charges. I give Burk my highest endorsement."
""Burk" Beale is a skilled criminal defense attorney and, particularly in driving while intoxicated case defenses, is one of the best attorneys in this field in Virginia."
